Welcome to my Life!
Gosh.. Simple Plan concert was amazing. Eventhough it was as packed as the Incubus concert, suprisingly i didn't find it difficult to breathe at all! It's definitely not the growth in height but somehow.. it was probably because i was rocking all night long! It was amaaazzziing! Almost indesribable. The people there were great. All knew the lyrics and that makes it so so much more fun! And the best thing was, Simple Plan promised to come back! Hahaha! I know some may argue almost every band in the world that visits will say that. But, they better! It's a promise man. I'll start counting the days from now. :P
Arrived at 3:45 pm, gates opened at 7:00pm. Wanted to get a good position but ended up having the same position as people arriving at 5pm or later. Haha. The position i had wasn't that bad though. I was still one of the front rows and gosh.. it was a fantastic place. I really got quite a good view and I enjoyed myself to ...argh. Hahaha. Fun night. Really really fun night. Like many of you know, I really really like Simple Plan! Fav band. Their songs are all great and there is no one song i dislike. I was so glad i had their new album and they played me against the world!!!! Hahaha.
And oh yea, Atif managed to grab an autographed poster too when DJ Utt threw it few minutes before Simple Plan actually came out.
Hehe. I lost all the strength I had for Shut up, I lost my voice at Welcome to my Life, I lost my senses at Me against the World. It was seriously good.
Their encore performances, esp Perfect was woot! Hahaha. Pierre came with a classical guitar and strummed. The reason it was so good is because everyone actually sang. All knew that song. Hahaha. Then the band joined in and it was a fantastic end.
I do sound like i'm exaggerating a few things but i'm actually not! Hahahaha!
Fun fun fun!
:) Like you can see from my typing style above, i'm extremely tired now. The concert was just a few hours ago and i still can see myself jumping up and down. Hahaha.
Can't stop laughing. Huhu! Thx Shyan for the opportunity. It was FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!
I WANT SIMPLE PLAN!!!

Photos and photoshop-ed photos
I recently just updated the photos for the MSSD basketball zone level to my class blog where my school eventually emerged as runnerups. Haha. Here are some of the pics which i added caption onto them.
You can find many many more of these original pics in my Class Blog.
Haha. I find this rather interesting because i actually didn't plan to edit the pics so soon but zhi ven was asking me to do it for my Class Blog. So i was in the mood and started with my work! I can understand how nooby all these pics are but my knowledge of photoshop is really very limited. :)
I like this pic cause it's just damn gaya. I don't remember if this shot went in but i'm quite confident it did. If only i took this 1 second later where he was already jumping a little bit higher. Oh well..this isn't too bad.
A quote by Ghandi. The original one is actually something like ,'The measure of success is not by the result, but by the effort put in'. Something like that. I find it incredibly meaningful though. :)
Haha. Sorry if the caption is a little erm..=/. :P I really thought like about 30 secs for it. And hey, it isn't too bad also!
This caption was originated by Zhi Ven. He actually edited one pic and then somehow asked me to delete it from my Class Blog and asked me to do a new one. I think this is not too bad either.
And there it is. I took so many pics on that day i can actually find more where i can practice my photoshop skills on. I shall post the edited pics here as soon as i do them. Hehe. Exams next week so i don't think i'll have the time. :)
Till then,

School and SP
Weee. So my computer is back again.. this time i have a totally new monitor! Some Samsung Syncmaster thing , some model. New wireless modem. Old one got fried. Bla bla. Nothing to talk about really, dont want to think bout it anymore.
Today. Let's see.
Yea, the one thing special happened today was .. the form 4s and form 5s had to go up to the hall at about 1pm and listen to some kinda talk by a former Cahayian student. Alina Ee was invited to give her speech and told stories about her journey to success etc. Was kinda interesting as we had another look insight the former Cahayian of the Year and the Cahayian top scorer. Oh well, i have to admit her talk did affect me a little in some kind of motivational way but dunno ler. Mixed feelings all inside me as usual. :/
Survived the worst day of the week today and gonna have the supposedly best day of the week tomorrow. I'm judging in terms of the subjects for that day. =)
Also had tuition just now and my poor mind currently had surpassed its limit.
Yea, Simple Plan's concert next week on the 29th. What a great time. Sandwiched in between my exams, this concert really know how to pick the time. Sigh. I already know i'm gonna regret like hell but i have no choice really. Nothing to say, try not to remind me about it anymore in the near future. :(
Ah what else. Feeling damn tired now mentally. Physically i'm still alright but duno ler. Gonna have tuition tomorrow again and Thursday. Exams are next week so wish me the best of luck.
I guess that's all for the moment.
Thx for reading this dull dull post.
Cheers.

No time to jam, it's time for SPM
How annoying can the world be? Is education over-rated? Y must every single person in the world excel in everything they do? How significant is a straight A result? What happens if you fail in your education? What else do you lose besides a good name? Why will someone ruin their reputation if their respective examination results are below par? Once again, how annyoning can the world be?
Is it just me, or have i not know the truly significance of it yet? Is this what an 'immature' person would think? I'm honestly not sure. Please care to explain it to me. I'm stressed out. I want to be left alone.
I hate the state of life i'm in right now.
Sandwiched between the pressure of getting good results and my personal problems, the world i'm living in right now is really heading nowhere. I do something for a reason which i do not know what, I live a life that has no direction or any sort of goal. I try to live and enjoy my life individually and seperately day by day , not thinking of the long gone past or the future..but ppl tells me that is wrong. I worry each day about my grades and problems with my mind wandering about in the future and the past..but ppl tells me that is wrong.
I'm lost and confused. Like a little blind mice. At least the 3 blind mice had company. I'm alone in this.
My everchanging ambition is the only thing i'm depending on now. Currently i'm very very interested to be involved in Designing. Whatever sort of designing course i may pursue, i know i'll still have lots of fun and enjoy it. Besides, my creativity isn't that bad too. I still can picture objects in my head and know how to bring the effect out of something. And i guess that's something.
Because of that simple reason, i am gonna work my butt off for my SPM examinations later this year. I'm no engineer or doctor, i just don't have the brains and determination for it. I'm lazy, i do not know why. My discipline is horrible, must be badly trained in school from young. My memory is the worst you can find, again i do not know why. My personality is too carefree, once again got something to do with my low level of discipline. I'm beating around the bush again, and this post is heading nowhere. If you got any advice, i need it. Thx.
Ah, so the SPM results collection was on last Thurs if i'm not mistaken. My seniors who mostly now are already in their colleges came back to SSC for their results. As soon as one arrive, the whole bunch suddenly swarmed it. Suddenly the school's office was flooded with ex-cahayians who wanted to collect their result slip. Many were approached by my schoolmates, many greetings were exchanged, smiles were of a plentiful, congratulations were made and i noticed no tears. Maybe i missed it or something but i certainly didn't see anyone crying whether for joy or sadness.
So the results of my old frens were passed on by word of mouth from one to another and i got to know some of my old buddies results. I was pleasingly shocked by some of the results in a good way and was quite surprised at some of the results i saw in a slightly less better way. =)
As the day went by, I was at a point sitting alone thinking to myself... Next year, it'll be my turn. I began picturing my friends in their home clothes coming one by one and saying things like "hi, long time no c"..."how have u been doing"..etc. I was thinking bout what i would get and how i would react to the results. I see some of my friends screaming for joy whilst others crumbles under the pressure. Some were very disappointed by the corner and i was yet to collect my result slip. All i thought that time was a disappointing result and i just couldn't think of a fantastic result that would make me happy. I actually felt the sadness in me. The disappointment. The hopes that people put on me crushed.
After a long while of thinking, i began to try and think of what will happen if i managed a good result somehow. The happiness. The joy.
And i want that feeling. I want to feel happy. I want to keep the hopes of my family and friends alive. And for that, i'll work hard. I'll try to work towards achieving my goal. I really really want to be happy. I want to have tears of joy on that very day, not sadness. I want to be proud of myself. I want to finally achieve something in life. I want people to look up to me. I crave for that feeling that i imagined about. The very feeling i felt in December 2003 when i collected my PMR results Slip.
My emotions do whirlwinds in me everytime i think of it.
My mindset is changing as i type this post... this is confusing. Something is pulling me to it yet something is pushing me back.
Pls. Someone guide me. I really really want to do it. But i just ..... :(
To change the subject and end this pointless topic, i recently did some quiz thing to know what kind of person u are, bla bla bla... so here are my results! I did the Nerd Quiz and the Loser quiz and i must say i got a result i'm satisfied with! :) Here it is!
Hahaha. I'm a cool guy.
After that i was damn bored so i surfed around the site looking for other quizzes and i found this. Damn, this was a close call but yet.. :D
~_~
I feel better now.

Sports Day, and the never-looking-forward-to Prefect's Camp.
The postponed Sports Day was on the 4th of March last week if i'm not mistaken.. exactly 1 week from today. The reason i did not update sooner was because I went to a camp the very next day after my Sports Day and my computer was fried by lightning. MY computer's still not back yet anyway. The computer guy took it away and has not returned it yet. I'm on my bro's laptop now.. Freaking funny keypads ...damn hard to type. Argh. So anyway, the 1 night camp was kinda fun, better than i had imagined it would be. On monday i was extremely tired but i had no choice but to go to school on that day eventhough i just returned from the camp the day before. ZZZ. Back to boring ol' school with the 1 week holiday the only thing i'm looking forward to.
Anyway, Sports Day. IF you had been reading my Class Blog, you would know that ..............YELLOW WON!!! WOOOT! WEEET! WAAAAT! Omg. Seriously, what better time can the house victory be achieved? It's my final year goddammit. And WE did it! Gosh. I remembered being overly excited and happy that day. But the feeling is fading as the days are passing. Damn. Whatever it is, Yellow still won. At least now we can prove many many ppl wrong. :) . For all those who doubted Yellow, hahaha, i duno what to tell u guys also. Oh well, we let the talking be done in the stadium, and what great talk that was.
Congrats to the 2 Junior fellas and Rong Xuan from Senior 3 for grabbing the Sportsman/Sportswoman of the Year award. You guys make Yellow feel like champions. A special congratulations to Chung Wei Ling(Red) from Senior 3 too for grabbing the senior Sportswoman of the Year award. No one else deserved it more than you.
Ok what else. Cheerleading. Congrats to Yellow once again for winning! Hahahaha. March past..congrats blue.
Bah enough with the congratulations shit.
Btw, here are some photos i took. For more photos or for any special requests, pls msg me privately. Thx.
These photos are either just the Yellow house photos or the photos which i thought are my favourites. Many many more photos i took WILL be posted up in my Class Blog(5 Science 1). The link is available under the Link section in my blog at the sidebar to ur right.

I love this pic. And no, it's not because of the person in it but because of the utter 'gayaness'
Yellow rox. Check out the distance of Chuang Kit(the yellow runner) to the ground.
because victory is golden.
Yellow, Champions 2005.
Ok.
The next day after the tiring Sports Day, I went to a camp which i was very reluctant to go at first. Freaking prefect's camp. Freaking Camps. What are they for anyway? To let ppl suffer and live in a very uncomfortable place? Bah. So anyway, departed to camp at about 7:50am. The whole bus was waiting for me as I was late(as usual). Said hello to my frens and took one quick look at Huey Shyan who was busy giggling away with my other frens. She had not experience a good day the day before. Blue house got 3rd overall and 3rd for cheerleading. Saw her smiling with her red face all rosy so i gave a small grin, left my big backpack on the seat and sat down.
Managed to take a short rest in the bus and arrived at Broga Campsite at about an hour plus from departure. The place was almost exactly the same compared to 2 years ago when i was there as a probate. Haha. Time flies. Now i'm part of the senior batch of prefects and I'll be sitting for my SPM at the end of the year. Time ...omg. Too fast. I can't take it. ARghhh! *pulls hair wildly*
Anyway, got there and we got our very first "seminar-like" kinda thing. Damn boring. Tought us about leadership skills, how to manage time, omg. Freaking boring. I wished i had taken photos anyway. But too risky to bring a camera to a campsite. So i did not take any bergaya shots or any photos at all.. sorry. After the boring talks, we got divided into 2 teams. And guess what, i was put into the underdog team again. Actually i was not even sure if the team i was in is an underdog team..we won every event that we competed....we showed more spirit, more teamwork...hm.. Anyway, did the water rafting again. Exactly how I did it 2 years ago. Haha quite fun actually. There's this big pond which the flying fox cables were overlooking and the water raft was good man. Damn lazy to explain in details. Just know that we had a few bamboo sticks and four huge airdrums and rafia strings. That's all. And it was like Survivor man. Hahaha. I loved these challenges!
My team, the Swedish Reds completed the raft in no time so we got a huge headstart and finished the task quite fast. I can't really remember what happened after the water rafting events but i do know we had a couple of free time and a campfire that night. The campfire wasn't that bad too. Had many fun games which omg i almost laughed my head off. My team's applause, yell and skit wasn't that bad too i guess. We did what we could with the amount of time we had.
The next day was the so-called 'rough day'. Zzz, for every camp i know there'll be this day where u do all the physical demanding activities and i suck in all this kinda things. However fun and enjoyable it may look, it'll be damn hard to do it when u try. Or when I try rather. I'm a noob. And a useless piece of shitz. My team had to do the Obstacle Course first. This dumb obstacle course lookalike playground has strict rules and we had to start all the way from the beginning if we fail to comply to those dumb strict rules. My team had to redo about 3 times and freaking was it tiring. So many obstacles i thought i could have done but when u are actually there, omg. Can't man. Whatever it is, i still managed to complete it and ignored taunts from Christine. GRr. Thx Praveen and Vincent anyway. For helping me throughout the whole damn thing.
My team went to the flying fox next and seeing Shyan(from the other team) sitting on top there for 15 minutes scared me. Haha. I just loved the adrenaline rush when i was on top waiting for the strong winds to reside. Looking down, i thought about the thrill of the ride i was about to go on to. Damn it was fun. And it wasn't the low kinda flying fox. It was actually kinda high and was overlooking a big pond. The pond where my team so gracefully won the Water Rafting event. Hahaha. The wind began to reside and.. I was OFf!! AHHHH!! Haha, thinking about it makes my heart skip a beat. What a thrilling ride.
After my whole team had completed the Flying Fox, we went to the High Ropes and saw the other team still stucked with a few more members not even starting yet. This High Ropes thing was kinda new and i never tried it before the last time i came to Broga. It was freaking scary the first time i looked up. How u are just hanged with the cable thing(i forgot what it is called) and if you fall, omg. scary man. Thinking about it, it was actually damn fun. We actually had to go to 4 stations on different trees and complete each station before anyone can go on it. When i climbed the ladder up, the guy who was in front of me was screaming like shitz and because of extreme fear, he actually fell. To cut things short, i was part of the rescue mission since the ropes are actually interconnected to one another and since i was already on the first platform, no one can reach the ropes needed but me. What a terrible experience. I was already damn shaking and panicky and right in front of my eyes that guy fell. So bla bla bla, my turn was up. And the freaking first rope was not easy. It's called the V-something. My rope actually went out of position before i actually finish the thing. After that I completed the rest and woah. Satisfaction man. I did not think i could do it and so did anyone. Once again, I proved people wrong! Hahaha proud of myself.
What pulled me through those obstacles was a strength i never felt or experienced before in my life. As i walked halfway through the ropes, I wanted to give up, i really did wanted to. But i suddenly thought about the people who had always teased me, insulted me and never gave me a chance. I thought about many moments where I was criticised for not being a 'guy' and being too sissy and how i have to be more manly. As those thoughts began to play in my head, this inner strength i never thought i had took over and made me complete the whole obstacle ropes thing. I was proud of myself. I think i'm beginning to understand the meaning of "believing in yourself" now. :)
Whatever it is, i've done it. Completed it. And i went home with pride and a whole new level of self esteem.
There was an invicible grin at my face and a huge cry for joy in me. But i never showed it and i don't think i will. Hehe.
Ah, I wanted to blog also about the SPM results collection by my seniors in my school and how it affected me but i'm afraid my ramblings would take up too much space and thus make this post a too long of a post. After all i have quite a few things i want to say about it too. =)
So now, till next time..
Ciao!

And guess what, i was put into the underdog team again. Actually i was not even sure if the team i was in is an underdog team..we won every event that we competed....we showed more spirit, more teamwork...hm.. Anyway, did the water rafting again. Exactly how I did it 2 years ago. Haha quite fun actually. There's this big pond which the flying fox cables were overlooking and the water raft was good man. Damn lazy to explain in details. Just know that we had a few bamboo sticks and four huge airdrums and rafia strings. That's all. And it was like Survivor man. Hahaha. I loved these challenges!
My team, the Swedish Reds completed the raft in no time so we got a huge headstart and finished the task quite fast. I can't really remember what happened after the water rafting events but i do know we had a couple of free time and a campfire that night. The campfire wasn't that bad too. Had many fun games which omg i almost laughed my head off. My team's applause, yell and skit wasn't that bad too i guess. We did what we could with the amount of time we had.
The next day was the so-called 'rough day'. Zzz, for every camp i know there'll be this day where u do all the physical demanding activities and i suck in all this kinda things. However fun and enjoyable it may look, it'll be damn hard to do it when u try. Or when I try rather. I'm a noob. And a useless piece of shitz. My team had to do the Obstacle Course first. This dumb obstacle course lookalike playground has strict rules and we had to start all the way from the beginning if we fail to comply to those dumb strict rules. My team had to redo about 3 times and freaking was it tiring. So many obstacles i thought i could have done but when u are actually there, omg. Can't man. Whatever it is, i still managed to complete it and ignored taunts from Christine. GRr. Thx Praveen and Vincent anyway. For helping me throughout the whole damn thing.
My team went to the flying fox next and seeing Shyan(from the other team) sitting on top there for 15 minutes scared me. Haha. I just loved the adrenaline rush when i was on top waiting for the strong winds to reside. Looking down, i thought about the thrill of the ride i was about to go on to. Damn it was fun. And it wasn't the low kinda flying fox. It was actually kinda high and was overlooking a big pond. The pond where my team so gracefully won the Water Rafting event. Hahaha. The wind began to reside and.. I was OFf!! AHHHH!! Haha, thinking about it makes my heart skip a beat. What a thrilling ride.
After my whole team had completed the Flying Fox, we went to the High Ropes and saw the other team still stucked with a few more members not even starting yet. This High Ropes thing was kinda new and i never tried it before the last time i came to Broga. It was freaking scary the first time i looked up. How u are just hanged with the cable thing(i forgot what it is called) and if you fall, omg. scary man. Thinking about it, it was actually damn fun. We actually had to go to 4 stations on different trees and complete each station before anyone can go on it. When i climbed the ladder up, the guy who was in front of me was screaming like shitz and because of extreme fear, he actually fell. To cut things short, i was part of the rescue mission since the ropes are actually interconnected to one another and since i was already on the first platform, no one can reach the ropes needed but me. What a terrible experience. I was already damn shaking and panicky and right in front of my eyes that guy fell. So bla bla bla, my turn was up. And the freaking first rope was not easy. It's called the V-something. My rope actually went out of position before i actually finish the thing. After that I completed the rest and woah. Satisfaction man. I did not think i could do it and so did anyone. Once again, I proved people wrong! Hahaha proud of myself.
What pulled me through those obstacles was a strength i never felt or experienced before in my life. As i walked halfway through the ropes, I wanted to give up, i really did wanted to. But i suddenly thought about the people who had always teased me, insulted me and never gave me a chance. I thought about many moments where I was criticised for not being a 'guy' and being too sissy and how i have to be more manly. As those thoughts began to play in my head, this inner strength i never thought i had took over and made me complete the whole obstacle ropes thing. I was proud of myself. I think i'm beginning to understand the meaning of "believing in yourself" now. :)
Whatever it is, i've done it. Completed it. And i went home with pride and a whole new level of self esteem.
There was an invicible grin at my face and a huge cry for joy in me. But i never showed it and i don't think i will. Hehe.
Ah, I wanted to blog also about the SPM results collection by my seniors in my school and how it affected me but i'm afraid my ramblings would take up too much space and thus make this post a too long of a post. After all i have quite a few things i want to say about it too. =)
So now, till next time..
Ciao!

The Curve's ceiling
Relatives arrived on New Year's eve and this year had the new year's eve dinner at home. Had some steamboat thing..was kinda fun actually. Something new. Not that bad actually.
2 seperate tables.. One for the parents and the cousins another, just like any other year. One cousin was absent btw,..the oldest one. she's doing something in UK..either studying or working i'm not very sure oso. -_- . We had our Yu Sang too. Hahaha. Bought from JB by my 3rd aunty. ZZz.
On Cho Yat, we had a little mini photo session in the house. Every family got to take their seperate photographs and we took one huge group photo with my bro's Canon's camera. I gotta resize and edit the photos cause the files were too damn big.

You Are A Romantic Realist |
You are more romantic than 50% of the population.  You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance. Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know. And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball... But you'd never admit it to your friends! |

One of the best days in life, one of the worst days in history, and one simply average day. I've experienced it all. All in 3 days.
Last Wednesday was simply, dreadful. It was the day after the day(Tuesday) when My house, Yellow bagged 17 points in Tug Of War out of the total 20 in the Boys event. Being the sometimes optimistic person i am, i thought that great incident will just be the start of a very good week. How wrong i was. How horribly wrong i was.
Tuesday ended great with me listening to the end of school bell ring with a smile. Yellow had just completed a day of great success and we crawled up the House Standings up to 2nd place. Weee. Nothing much happened after that and i got home, did my usual stuff and finally got to my bed early at about 10pm. EEp. My point was not to sleep early, rise healthy or something like that. I actually had something on at 4:00 am. Arsenal Vs Manchester United, the match where the whole world had their eyes locked on, the match where I just cannot wait for.
At 3:55 am, i woke up automatically, before my phone alarm rang. Omg.How often do u see that. I believe that was a sign actually. I believed i was meant to watch the match. So i just closed my eyes after that for a little while and got to my senses at 4:05am. Turned on the TV, was freaking great. Arsenal was celebrating and my internal stuff in me was partying. Vieira had just scored from a header. Easily. I was already thinking about a definite 2nd place and looking at the pathetic faces of MU fans. Kaka. Later, Giggs equalised. My body was not that crazy anymore and i was beginning to focus more on the match, fingers crossed. Then the legendary and fantasic Bergkamp scored another. Great. We went into half time 2-1 with the pundits saying that they do not see Arsenal losing. I didn't see it too. Or maybe, I did.
Second half started with a blow from the whistle by Graham Poll and to cut things short, the fake Ronaldo scored twice and O'Shea added salt to the wound. I can remember being stunned at that time and immediately went back to my room to my bed. I closed my eyes and i can remember being very very disappointed. I couldn't even stretch my lips upwards when i try and i didn't know what to do really. It was already 6 at that time, so i went to the bathroom and eventually waited for my school bus. It was one of the worst days of my life. The more i thought about it, the more stressful i get. It was not easy witnessing a rare Arsenal lost. Especially to MU. I strode off to school and found myself lucky when a whole group of MU supporters from my class were not in school as they had to participate in some Volleyball Inter-school competition against other schools who are in the same district as my school. Everything was dead after that in school.. there were so little classes and everything was a bore. ZZZ.
Thursday came and things didn't really look promising at first. That day was when they had the Tug of War events for the girls under-15 and under-18. To be honest, i never expected the results at all to be so and so at all. Again i was proven wrong, by a large large margin.
8:30 am. *ringgggg!* We had to assemble at the foyer and the girls who are participating in the Tug events had to proceed to the field for their warmup or something. Being a patriotic Yellow, i was really really hoping that we will achieve our target of winning at least one match in each category so we will at least end up 2nd place and not last like how our girls always ended up every year. Red and blue had to pull first and to cut the story short........
WE GOT FIRST FOR BOTH CATEGORIES!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is like a full additional..omg... 20 points for us. The Yellows were seen crying for joy(not literally) at the end of the events. Hahaha. Our spirit is great this year. I can see great things happening for us. Overall, we achieved 37 out of a total 40 points for the Tug of War events. Great great start. So far, we are in the hot seat leading by 6 points. The Sports Day is getting really heated up. It will be great if Yellow actually achieve something this year..for me at least, where I had already done all i can and personally faced ONE year as the champion house and the rest....right at the bottom of the standings.
Anyway, that day was actually one of the best so far in 2005. I needed it. I needed it badly.
Then it was Friday and things were looking kinda blurrish and tiring. I know i had a Table Tennis MSSD tryouts at 1:30pm and god, how i was looking forward for it. It is already my final year in School and my final year to participate. The week after this is gonna be a holiday for the CNY.. I could had ended the day happy, but all i had was just a, =/
The school started with a dull dull computer class and they were teaching Visual Basics. ZZZ. After that, i had my physics class and funnily, i understood much more than i usually did in physics. Even funnier, the twin who is sitting beside me in class who had always always advice me to pay attention and study when i started to talk is not there at that time! If i'm not mistaken... he MAY be the problem that i am not paying as much attention than i should in class! hahaha. So we studied, and usual school stuff except there is something to look forward to...the 1 week holiday! Bah, i have an add maths project to do anyway and some other homework so it actually balanced out my happiness and sadness level. At 1:30pm, i got down to the foyer for the Table Tennis MSSD tryouts with a few of my classmates and started to get a little worried.
I really needed it. My will was there. My determination, maybe. My mind was ready. My body was not. I'm a kind of person who needs at least 15 minutes of warm up before i can get to my best. How long did i get? 5 mins. To break my confidence level even more, i picked out one folded slip of paper and after praying for a little while, i realised i had drawn number 1 and i had to go against the guy who had number 2 on his paper. HOW LUCKY. Seriously, the whole week i was hoping that i can avoid that guy and look.. YAY! AND TO MAKE THINGS WORST, it is a knockout system and is divided into two sections. YAY. so if the best 2 is drawn against each other in the first game or if one section got the best players and the other section is not that good, it will mean that we will not be able to send our top 2 for the school! even better. AND TO FINALLY BREAK THE CAMEL"S BACK, the game is played only 1 set. Some ppl may be saying,'nah, 1 set is nothing really big actually..' OMG. ONE ELEVEN POINT SET. THE ELEVEN POINT SYSTEM IS ALREADY BAD ENOUGH. BUT IT"S BEST OF 7 AT LEAST. This? Best of ONE. OH GOD. WHO PLAYS BEST OF 1 and decide on that game?!!!!! ELEVEN point is anyone's game. PLUS MY other reasons that i stated before this on top, this must be the most unfair system in the universe on how they are picking the representatives from the school. And yea, only 2 can represent. So weee. Great, Confidence level = ZERO.
So yeap, i dont care if you are now saying i'm giving an excuse whatsoever, but i lost the first game due to lack of warmup and time. 11 points. How terrible. I still managed a deuce anyway against that guy.. if that's something. The most painful thing is that i know he's sooooo very very beatable. It wouldnt hurt that much if i know that he's a better player compared to me. But he's not. He really really is not. Sigh. He didnt even win in the end. Sigh. After that, i played against the 2 guys who won and are representing us. ZZZ, and i actually won them... :( I was playing for the reserve spot and NO.. they weren't giving me any chances. One guy who was representing played with me cause he always mentioned that he wants to play a friendly with me and bla bla bla shows that he can win me and all but sigh........................ i never lost to him.. :( And the other guy? I was trying for reserves and i made it after i won him too. SIGH. BIG BIG SIGHS.
I guess i was robbed away from it thx to the system. Sigh. I went home after that and i thought about it and i think the best thing to do is that i will be taking part in the Doubles event and becoming a reserve in the Singles event. The only bright thing i got from that Friday is that the next week is gonna be a holiday and i guess that made the day very average, slightly more to the bad side. :(
And after 3 days not being able to get connected to the net. I finally managed to this morning. Somehow, i think the system is up finally. Yay. Cheers. :/ ... The more i think about those 3 days, the worst i feel. Hm. Even the great results on Tueday and Thursday can't really bring my mood up. Feeling slightly better now and OH well, it's part of life i guess.
Just in case i don't blog anytime soon,
Happy Chinese New Year! =)

Cross country
The day started with a bloody tired body that had to wake up in the early hours of the morning. Did my usual morning stuff before i started the journey to school that was actually promising me great hopes and dreams. Before i entered the bus, realised that i was wearing my black leather shoes with trackbottom so i asked my uncle to wait and changed to my sport shoes. Not that it made any difference anyway. I never expected i'll reach my home again in a different mood alltogether.
So I arrived in school tired, and feeling kinda excited at the same time deep down inside. I'll have the cross country event at 8:30 am! , just when the first bell of the school rings. We assembled at the foyer at first and got seperated into our individual houses. I'm in the spirited Yellow btw, and i'm still proud of it. We did a few body warm ups and got to hear some motivational thing. The whole group of Yellow arrived at the Starting Point together and we met the other houses over there. The cross country event is divided into 4 categories btw. Class 1 , Class 2 Girls and Class 1, Class 2 Boys. So as I waved goodbye to the other classes who departed group by group to start the grueling race, I was slowly building up a sense of nervousness inside me. Haha. Not like it matters anyway, again. So we assembled there and got our faces taken by some Smartphone with this nice little camera. Not long later, the whistle blew, and we were off.
The famous uphill at the starting point is the killer, really. After jogging up the hill in a good speed so that i will not embarass myself to death for being last in the pack since start, i thought i could manage to pull myself through after that. But omg, my legs failed me badly. My whole leg was so numb or something and felt so so weak. I finished the cross country with my right leg all numb and both my legs struggling to stand up. It's already a well known fact that i will get 1 point. and I did. even some of the best runners couldnt get 2 points. A special thx to Kin for accompanying me all the way and no thx to Kin also for being a lanci prick the whole way through.
I arrived gracefully at the pitstop with a broad smile on my face and inserted my slip of paper with a big '1' in the center to the yellow coloured box. The Yellows were told to go to the foyer so we went, still not sure of the overall results. Mr.Ariff came in and announced we got Second.Gosh. We had 82 points, lost to blue, 84. and Red had 76. There were cheers and applause and everything except disappointment. We were so proud of ourselves. After that, we had our marching practices along with the cheerleading practices so everyone splitted up to do their own thing. All the things that happened after the practices were nothing compared to the news I heard during the assembly at the foyer after Lunch.
I went down straight to the foyer after the light cheerleading practice in the hall and i saw Aiza as usual speaking loudly and angrily at the students. Waited and waited for the announcements to finish and finally Ms.Ki, the sports coordinator this year, came out and spoke. She said she was happy bla bla bla for the success of the cross country and how 'disciplined' we were. And then after that, she started to read out the results. Below is what she actually said:-
Ms.Ki : You all wanna know the results for the cross country rite?
Students : YESSSS~~~~ (dragged long and loudly)
Ms.Ki : Ok, (opens her book) Red house, got 76 points. Blue house got 84 points. And Yellow house got 82 points.
Students : *Cheers, boos, jeers*
Ms.Ki : Wait! Before you are so happy, those are not the final results yet! The top 3 runners of every category gets extra points for their house!
Me : (OMG. SOUNDS BAD.)
Ms.Ki : (continues)... first place will get 10 points, second will get 7 and third will get 4...
Students : *Mixed emotions and words*
Ms.Ki : ok......if added, Blue is still first with 12# points!
Students : *Loud Cheer*
Ms.Ki : Red has 10# points and Yellow got 93 points.
Me : *faints* *and then looks at a few people from my house and there were this weird emotion in their faces. Little did i know I had that very same emotion too*
After that, all i heard was soft and blur mumblings but i managed to caught one more line from Ms.Ki
Ms.Ki : This is more fair because red has less members. Quality, not quantity is the most important.
OMG. WHAT IS THIS?! WE WERE ROBBED. TO THE MAX.
This sux. I'm sure it has ruined our spirit some way or the other. To say it hasn't is a lie really. AT first, every member in Yellow were really really so confident and so spirited. And now, this. I really really am worried for this thing. At first i was damn happy cause this year everyone this year in my house looked so confident, strong-willed and proud to be in Yellow. For those who were in Cahaya for many years, everyone knows it is a disgrace for someone to be in Yellow and everyone will become dead when it comes to team spirit(eventhough i don't agree). And for once when i noticed a change, this happens.
It is worst then telling us we got last without having a single clue of the results at all. Like i said to my other frens, we were pierced by false hopes and stabbed by the happiness that actually meant nothing at all. We don't deserve this, and neither should anyone at all.
And besides, if anyone thinks there are nothing fairer that the system that robbed Yellow, well there actually is one. I wouldn't mind getting last at all if there is this system where everyone in the top 10 gets extra points, not only the top 3. As in the first will get 10, second 9, third 8 and so on. Till the 8th place with 3 points and the rest who made the qualifying time get the 2 points. If u only take the top 3, it'll be ultimately unfair because one house may have 3 best runners and just because of that, they get an extra 10+7+4 which is also equal to 21 points. That is also, 10 and a half ppl who make the qualifying time or also a huge TWENTY ONE people who got 1 point. So so unfair.
Oh well, to look on the brighter side, next week there will be 40 points up for grabs! It'll be the under 18 and under 15 Tug-of-War competition for male and female on Tuesday and Thursday respectively. Today we lost 6, what's the big deal rite? Next week, with every little strength and determination we have, we're gonna own. Hopefully.
Till then,
It is not over yet.

The day started with a bloody tired body that had to wake up in the early hours of the morning. Did my usual morning stuff before i started the journey to school that was actually promising me great hopes and dreams. Before i entered the bus, realised that i was wearing my black leather shoes with trackbottom so i asked my uncle to wait and changed to my sport shoes. Not that it made any difference anyway. I never expected i'll reach my home again in a different mood alltogether.
So I arrived in school tired, and feeling kinda excited at the same time deep down inside. I'll have the cross country event at 8:30 am! , just when the first bell of the school rings. We assembled at the foyer at first and got seperated into our individual houses. I'm in the spirited Yellow btw, and i'm still proud of it. We did a few body warm ups and got to hear some motivational thing. The whole group of Yellow arrived at the Starting Point together and we met the other houses over there. The cross country event is divided into 4 categories btw. Class 1 , Class 2 Girls and Class 1, Class 2 Boys. So as I waved goodbye to the other classes who departed group by group to start the grueling race, I was slowly building up a sense of nervousness inside me. Haha. Not like it matters anyway, again. So we assembled there and got our faces taken by some Smartphone with this nice little camera. Not long later, the whistle blew, and we were off.
The famous uphill at the starting point is the killer, really. After jogging up the hill in a good speed so that i will not embarass myself to death for being last in the pack since start, i thought i could manage to pull myself through after that. But omg, my legs failed me badly. My whole leg was so numb or something and felt so so weak. I finished the cross country with my right leg all numb and both my legs struggling to stand up. It's already a well known fact that i will get 1 point. and I did. even some of the best runners couldnt get 2 points. A special thx to Kin for accompanying me all the way and no thx to Kin also for being a lanci prick the whole way through.
I arrived gracefully at the pitstop with a broad smile on my face and inserted my slip of paper with a big '1' in the center to the yellow coloured box. The Yellows were told to go to the foyer so we went, still not sure of the overall results. Mr.Ariff came in and announced we got Second.Gosh. We had 82 points, lost to blue, 84. and Red had 76. There were cheers and applause and everything except disappointment. We were so proud of ourselves. After that, we had our marching practices along with the cheerleading practices so everyone splitted up to do their own thing. All the things that happened after the practices were nothing compared to the news I heard during the assembly at the foyer after Lunch.
I went down straight to the foyer after the light cheerleading practice in the hall and i saw Aiza as usual speaking loudly and angrily at the students. Waited and waited for the announcements to finish and finally Ms.Ki, the sports coordinator this year, came out and spoke.

Updated!
Bahaha. I'm entering the 4th week of school now. And i'm thanking it for the piles and piles of work and having to wake up at 6:15 every morning and suffer for 7 hours in a building which slowly drains ur life force away and tires you like you have never been tired before and eventually kills you with the pressure and the amount of work you have to do.
Wow, good job alexeO. You have survived 11 years including pre-school going through that torturing ordeal and welcome to the final 12th year. The final obstacle which will end anyone's life if they're not careful enough. It's the final year godamnnit! I'm supposed to be jumping for joy! Not crying over the tough grueling pressure! Oh well, it's the same case with Games I guess. You go through all these levels of play and u'll encounter one final tough enemy in the end.. but this time, it's real life. You don't get to load back ur saved games or save first before u face the enemy. You don't get extra lives to save ur ass or have any potions to heal you. It's the fuking reality! Argh.
I think it's the same case with real life.As in really real, Life. After going through many many years or the so-called levels of play, you will eventually face the final obstacle before you get the "Game Over" message. Let's just hope the message doesn't come too early or at least let me finish every single level and quest first.
Er-hem. Yea, American Idol 4 has started! I watched the 2 episodes last Wed and Thurs and so far nothing worth blogging about has happened yet and it's the same good and bad auditions over and over again. Some interesting stories though and some 'unique' ppl i guess but none really shook my attention. A different format this year for the top something stages and that's something i can't wait for. Hopefully this year it'll stand up to everyone's expectations! How's Fantasia and Diana doing btw? I can't find their Cds in malaysia anywhere. Hm...
Yesterday i went to 'arthur's place' for some party. And arthur is a person and his place means his crib. Not a restaurant whatsoever which actually sounds kinda suitable too. Yea whatever. So erm, before the party i had this Physics class in school on a saturday. Yes a saturday, and after that i went to my regular table tennis games in the Sunway Club with Kelvin , Jon and Adrian. Went home after that and got ready for the party at Arthur's Place. The theme was tropical btw and luckily i got this light blue shirt that has white flowery stuff and acts like 2 stripes going down on both sides. Ok confusing. But i can't show it anyway. So since there were rumours going around bout some 'water fight' or something, i was told to bring extra clothes but what the heck, damn dumb to bring a bag of clothes so i just decided to wear my 'tropical' buttoned shirt outside and a light coloured t-shirt inside. Wore jeans with it, applies some gel on my hair to have some Real Spike! And i was ready to go. What the heck.
Anyway, arrived there at about 7:35pm or so and bahaha, as usual, i quickly search for my friends and sat down at their table. The party at Arthur's place was actually to celebrate my classmate, Allen's birthday on the 21st and some other 3 ppl's birthday together. So anyway, didn't socialise much at first and i was having a good time drinking my shandy and crapping with my friends. The party was divided into a few groups btw. So couldn't get to know ppl that time. So as i was talking, Allen's sis, Arleen got really hyper and began to stack up cans and was throwing the shandy cans around. I ate the stuff they have .. (the potato salad and chicken wings were damn good btw) and then drank some stuff as well. I started off with some Jolly Shandy or whatever and then I was like, what the heck just gimme a beer! At that very moment, i was feeling kinda wanting to be more involved and fun so i actually asked for a beer from Prav...kinda rare situation but it happened anyway. Then everything happened like so fast, i only took like 2 cans or something.. Only. And i was feeling damn brave!hahaha! As in, i'm not scared of being embarrased which I usually am and started to laugh weirdly and loudly. I know i wasn't drunk. The beer just made me a little mixed up and nothing to worry about!
So i walked around with my frens and started to crap more and tell stories i have never told before. I was talking kinda loudly i think and that doesn't happen very often cause i always ask my loud voice friends to lower down their voices. I wasn't drunk. How can you get drunk over 2 cans anyway. I was just , brave. Then i was sitting down in this group with Allen's friends and ppl i don't know. Then i started to socialise and hopefully i didn't make a fool out of myself. My frens told me i was kinda drunk but i really really wasn't! Hmm. Got to know a few ppl and stuff...actually, come to think of it.. What a fun night! :D
(for the more embarassing incidents, ask me.) Visit my class blog,5 Science 1 for more info. :)
Lala. Time is passing damn fast now and i have school tomorrow. Zzz. I got holiday on Tues though and at least i got something to look forward to in school. The sports day this year is getting kinda hyped up cause i have 3 presidents of each houses in my class and the rivalry looks stronger and bigger this year. I'm really really not looking forward for what's gonna happen AFTER the sport's day so i guess i'm just leaving it like that. I have some prefect's camp coming too. And ZZZ. SO NOT INTERESTED! bahahaha.
Hmm. Crap, come to think of it, i don't even know if i have any homework. Zzz. What dumb education system i have to face. What dumb stage of school i'm having. Cross your fingers for me as I hopefully am gonna pass this year with a wide smile on my face and great memories in my head for me to cherish. :)
Cheers all!

THIS, is cool
Lol!
4th day of school. Freaking hella tired. :/
Mind can't get used to it yet. Can't get used to anything these past 4 days.
Sleeping hours are screwed up, not used to be doing work, not used to counting numbers...not used to be worrying for something.
I gotta change this. very, very soon. or best, immediately..
The 4 days had been enjoyable, with people being extremely friendly and at least we are taking this year with a bright note. People around me smile more and i hope the smile remain in the upcoming months. Zzz. Was asked to do a new year resolution thing on a piece of paper and write an essay on it after that in english class yest. IT actually made me thought of what i really wish to achieve and want from life esp, this year. School has been full of memories for me and next year it'll be taking a while to get used to the new life after many many years in uniform, morning assemblies, and stuff.
This is actually worrying me. Hmmm. Besides that, freaking sick these past few days. Body must been not working properly cause not used to my new tiring schedule. Sickening. Argh. Had a flu last 3 days and thank god the flu subsided. My voice sounds slightly different now...no! i'm not saying my voice broke. it broke long time ago! Grr.. but u know, flu? it affects ur voice. or something. Arh.
So, American Idol 4 is starting on Jan 19th. Weee! Damn excited. American Idol is like one of my favourite Idol shows. and yes, i do watch other idol shows online.. Malaysian Idol is not that bad too..we may be lacking the talent but what the heck, i enjoy it cause it's malaysian based. And yea, anyone knows anything about the released Diana Degarmo's CD? If you do, please tell me where can u purchase it. Will appreciate it lots! thx. And yea! i also bought Jaclyn Victor's Gemilang CD. I don't really know what the critics are criticising about the CD, i personally thought the CD was not that bad as reviewed.. there are even a few songs that caught my ears a few times i heard it and i know the lyrics for 1 or 2 songs already. What the heck was wrong with Tunggu Sekejap and When I Fall in love; both songs which are heavily criticised. I thought they were really good and nice to hear. However, Jac's voice may sound a little soft in the CD but nevertheless she sang really well. It's Jac. And i'm a supporter! =)
Hmm..let's see what else. yea, the reason i've not been updating the blog for a while is because i had an almost 2 months school break and i've been really lazy and my sleeping hours were irregular. I also really had nothing to blog about as i spent most of my time at home, eating, sleeping, TV, computer or the rest of the time i spent in my mum's convenience store, online. I went out with my frens a while but nothing interesting happened that is worth blogging about. Adrian Chong, my malaysian ex-classmate that went to Aussie to study is back though..n i think that's about it. Went out several times with him to boring ol' pyramid but the outing was kinda fun i thought. HM, my christmas eve and new year's eve celebration was kinda sad. Both occasions i spent my time in Coffee Bean with 3-4 friends and watched everyone spray each other with colourful foams. I didn't get to join in the fun as only Kelvin was the only one who seemed interested. The other fren had a boyfren and the boyfren wasn't looking keen. So what the heck, drank coffee and talked. I didn't mind it that much actually, i wasn't bored. I just knew i could had more fun.
And yeah, the Tsunami Disaster was horribly devastating. The death toll is staggering and the amount of homeless people is really really high. I really felt something for them especially when i tuned in to CNN last week and i saw their little clip of pictures of people suffering, women crying, child confused and injured, men dead. And the suprised people.. woah. I myself was surprised at this tragedy. On Dec 26th afternoon/night, i walked in to my dad's room and i found him watching CNN. As soon as i stepped into the door, he immediately said, earthquake in Indonesia, effects felt in Malaysia. At first i was really skeptic and was like, wtf? earthquake in malaysia? what happened to the facts i learned in Geography class last year about the Pacific Ring of Fire or something? and the stuff they were praising on how malaysia was freaking safe from all these and all. and stuff i knew since i was very young! But nevertheless, a small part of malaysia did feel it. Believe it or not, i know people who came running down from their hostels or apartments cause they felt the ground shake. I wouldnt think it'll be such a coincidence for any construction errors to occur at the same time. Ok, Maybe the earthquake didn't start in the Malaysia area. But it did affect Malaysia. And that's something. So the 8.9 earthquake wasn't the news of the year. The tsunamis that was formed from the earthquake was. Before any warning, countried around the indian ocean was affected by the devastating tsunamis. The damage caused will only be repaired after a very very long time. The hearts broken will be the hardest to mend.
Still, after so many days of reports in newspaper about the increasing deathtolls, the silver lining is that a few miraculous survivor stories are being recorded at the moment. Some exceptional especially the ones which caught my eye were the baby who was on the matress, the 9day at sea on a coconut tree and the one where the woman spent a long time casted away but was still thinking about her husband. I hope there are many more of those survivors still waiting to be found. And hopefully with god's will they will be found very soon. A sad event for mankind but it has happened, and people have to move on in life. I just wish the damage caused on the country and the people is hopefully the most minimal it can be.
As i sign out, let's just all have a moment for the people who had lost their lives in this tragic incident and pray for the ones who had lost their family members, homes and everything in their lives. May light be casted upon them to guide time and let them live their rest of their lives with the least misery possible. May help be given to them to help them survive and to not suffer. May the world learnt something from this tragic incident because there are many where one moment u were enjoying yourselves with your loved ones, one moment they're all gone.
Finally, Good luck to those who are facing any obstacles. Just remember, they're all part of life and in the long run, they are actually things that would shape up your life.
-Adios-
Lol!

And the suprised people.. woah. I myself was surprised at this tragedy. On Dec 26th afternoon/night, i walked in to my dad's room and i found him watching CNN. As soon as i stepped into the door, he immediately said, earthquake in Indonesia, effects felt in Malaysia. At first i was really skeptic and was like, wtf? earthquake in malaysia? what happened to the facts i learned in Geography class last year about the Pacific Ring of Fire or something? and the stuff they were praising on how malaysia was freaking safe from all these and all. and stuff i knew since i was very young! But nevertheless, a small part of malaysia did feel it. Believe it or not, i know people who came running down from their hostels or apartments cause they felt the ground shake. I wouldnt think it'll be such a coincidence for any construction errors to occur at the same time. Ok, Maybe the earthquake didn't start in the Malaysia area. But it did affect Malaysia. And that's something. So the 8.9 earthquake wasn't the news of the year. The tsunamis that was formed from the earthquake was. Before any warning, countried around the indian ocean was affected by the devastating tsunamis. The damage caused will only be repaired after a very very long time. The hearts broken will be the hardest to mend.
Still, after so many days of reports in newspaper about the increasing deathtolls, the silver lining is that a few miraculous survivor stories are being recorded at the moment. Some exceptional especially the ones which caught my eye were the baby who was on the matress, the 9day at sea on a coconut tree and the one where the woman spent a long time casted away but was still thinking about her husband. I hope there are many more of those survivors still waiting to be found. And hopefully with god's will they will be found very soon. A sad event for mankind but it has happened, and people have to move on in life. I just wish the damage caused on the country and the people is hopefully the most minimal it can be.
As i sign out, let's just all have a moment for the people who had lost their lives in this tragic incident and pray for the ones who had lost their family members, homes and everything in their lives. May light be casted upon them to guide time and let them live their rest of their lives with the least misery possible. May help be given to them to help them survive and to not suffer. May the world learnt something from this tragic incident because there are many where one moment u were enjoying yourselves with your loved ones, one moment they're all gone.
Finally, Good luck to those who are facing any obstacles. Just remember, they're all part of life and in the long run, they are actually things that would shape up your life.
-Adios-

Lol, finally!
Yeah!!!! First day of school for school term 2005, and it's my last year too! I seriously can't imagine what's gonna happen after this year. Like Allen said, at least last year we know the following year we will come to school and all but next year it'll all change! So it's kinda exciting thinking about it but at the same time, this is gonna be a hell of a stressful year too.. dumb SPM. Argh, and the projects..and the classes which i will not understand a thing..all those. Damn stress man. And dumb NS selections...(PLS HOPE I"M NOT SELECTED!) i personally find it a terrible waste of my precious 3 months of party time after the SPM!
So erm, first day of school. Arrived in school, went to class, got a good seat. Nothing new, just a really really usual first day of school. First few hours was getting the exercise books and all and we had maths and additional maths classes after that. Was damn blah. Came home, went tuition. CRAP man, i'm damn hardworking. I'm not really looking forward for the next day of school and the whole year to be honest, but i'm really taking it day by day and hope it will all be over with the blink of an eye.. After that, let's just leave it to after that.
Have i mentioned that i hate camps? Lol. I'm really not the sporty kinda guy and camps are not my number one favourite thing. IF i got a choice, i rather spend my time at home. Sigh. Oh well. Compulsary camps are sad~
IT's getting later and later and lesser and lesser stuff are going about in my mind. I can't really find anything to type anymore for now. Hahaha, will post very soon. This is just a very bad time to update my blog. ZZZ. Had 2-3 hours of sleep yesterday and i'm a guy who needs at least 10.
So erm,
ZZZ
and
Gd nite.

Taking a Peek into the Past
It has been almost 16 years now.. from the day I was brought out of my small watery cushion first home and officially breathe in the world's air. Thinking n looking back into the past, I noticed I slowly grew up to be someone who really liked attention and a boy who felt like he had almost nothing to worry about as so much care is given to him maybe because of having not only a full set of parents but an additional 3 siblings as well.
Most of my demands were fulfilled. Most of my needs were taken care of. I was happy. I was spoilt. I was the youngest child. :/
Not long later, as i grew a little bit older and seen a little more of the real world, I realised not everyone really likes me. Those friends who I thought represents my family outside turned out to be nothing but ordinary people who gives you this uncomfortable , awkward feeling of being hurt. I was backstabbed for the first time, but not long later, i realised this is just another common process of making and finding true friends.
Talking back about being spoilt, it really changed after that i got to see what really is waiting for me in the upcoming future. I would have to give my fullest respect to my older sister as she is the first one who had to endure all obstacles and challenges first without having anything or person to learn from, to pass every challenge of life given to her first and keeping strong just so not to disappoint and scare her younger siblings. My second sister actually trained me indirectly to learn that everyone out there is different and they are that way no matter you like it or not. She also actually thought me that different people communicate differently and actually increased my self discipline and self esteem (eventhough it's not very high now) after having to endure her screams and scoldings.
As for my brother, mostly i just learn from his mistakes he made and also his inner self believe that had kept him moving and achieving results that had made him being looked up better.
And yeah, this may sound corny but he gives me confidence when i face an exam or a competition. My brother being a 'dont-care-less' fella, I will just imagine how will he face such situations and often it makes me feel more relaxed!
I have just only about a year plus of schooling and another chapter will be closed. :) As for now, I think and ponder on every memory I had and make sure I don't leave school with a bag full of regrets weighing down on me. So far, the bag is already half filled, but with the time I still have in school, I am determine to convert those regrets into good memories. For now, I will just live the most of my life here in school!:D
Looking back and having a closer look into my past and younger days, nothing beats photographs! So erm, here it is!
Baby Me. The year..erm..not sure.. but should be about 1-4? :-O Big gap..but really not sure.
Rock On! :D Me with glasses in somewhere i forgot.
What the heck?! I'm damn cute! :D! Again I forgot the place.. It's between this 3 places. Cameron, Genting or China. Hmm...
Ok. Don't know what was on my mind... Again forgot the location! Don't blame me. It has been more than 10 years.
China..I'm quite sure ..i think... :-O
China confirm! Wee..Mongolian Hat. I look like a Chinese Local boy. :D
Me again somewhere. The rolled up paper thing is either, my potrait with my bro or some chinese drawing from China.
Ok. enuff of me! These are my siblings when young XD..
2nd Sis and bro. damn cute!
4 of Us.Bro, Me, Older Sis and 2nd sis. In Club Med...
My 2nd sis, older sis and bro in Cameron.. from my sister's blog..it is said that the year was 1989. So if that's correct. I should be 1 year old.
This is how they look like now! My mum is at top left, top right is my 2nd sis, bro at bottom left and bottom right = older sis!
Ok. Gotta stop calling them older sis, 2nd sis, and bro. They are Sherlyn, Carmen and Damien/Jeremy respectively. I really am not sure about my bro's english name as he uses his intials "CM" much more often as his intro name.
Wee, posted photos!
Bb for now~

Malaysia!
Regardless of what had happened...
Josiah Ng(Cylist of Malaysia) went to the finals!..
Even though I was extremely disappointed that we did not clinch a medal from there..
I am still extremely proud.
He came as a surprise actually...
And Elaine Teo..(TaeKwanDo Participant)
I'm sure she's extremely disappointed.
So am I.
But I know she will feel the disappointment 35235X more than me.. I wish her all the best... for her financing situation and for her Tae-Kwan-Do career.
So again, regardless of what we had not achieved in Athens this time around, and eventhough i was very very...disappointed,
I still am proud to be a Malaysian! And will always be supporting Malaysia!!!
Good luck!!
Malaysia Boleh!
